Not American, but I try to buy most of my daily stuff from independent places instead of supermarkets. The social contacts at my local butcher, bakery, vegetable shop, fish shop, ... is also much more enjoyable than stressing in the Colruyt or whatever. And the produce is way better.

Once they get to know you, they often give freebies too, like offcuts to make bouillon. And you get free cooking tips as well!

I'm looking forward to new Technical Difficulties stuff!

Wow, I never realised that cucumbers in America are different! Our variety is apparently the English one.

I've never had a cucumber with bumps on before.

Is DNS over https distinguishable from other https traffic?

Would it be possible to argue that this is copyright infringement? They're basically screencapping copyrighted content at a shitty framerate and distributing it over the internet.

Are streetcars like trams? Because over here I love taking the tram in largerish cities like Ghent, they're like busses but faster.

You're on lemmy.world and I'm on programming.dev, but we can still see each others posts and interact with each other because lemmy.world and programming.dev are federated.

As someone living in a European country and working for one of the many companies with a lot of American customers, I find it weird to have to justify that a land war in Europe is bad. Even from a purely cynical point that all of your taxpayer money should come back to you, you're actively harming yourself if you don't help Ukraine as we do.

Yeah, it's still a delicacy in quite a lot of places over here.

I believe there's a theory that the average person had at least one source of inflammation in their body.

As someone from Belgium (a country where there's quite a lot of firearms in the hands of hunters and farmers (especially where I grew up) and where FN Herstalt is located), it sounds absolutely insane to have a shooting range at a school.

People's body temperature used to be higher a century ago, but I think it was less then 1°C.

EDIT: Apparently since the early 1800s, men's body temperature changed about 0.59°C and women's about 0.32°C.

But you've installed Linux on it, right?

Too bad I can't hear you over my sway setup
